4-Down Territory: RIVALRY WEEK & Archaeology Discovers True Origins of the Run/Pass Option
Black Friday? Who cares? It is rivalry weekend and a big tip of the hat to the ACC and SEC for playing just eight conference games and opening up the last weekend of the year for non-conference in-state rivalry games.

1st Down: High Noon Showdowns: #4 Penn State at #17 Minnesota: This game may be a noon kickoff in the east but in Minneapolis the ball goes up just after 11 a.m. The secret to Penn State’s unbeaten run?
